Occupational Protein Contact Dermatitis : Two Case Reports

الملخص EN

Protein contact dermatitis (PCD) is a contact dermatitis caused by high-molecular-weight proteins.

This entity has been reported with increasing frequency, most commonly as occupational hand dermatitis in food handlers.

Clinically, it is characterized by a chronic and recurrent dermatitis with erythema, scaling, and fissures with acute exacerbations occurring a few minutes after contact with offending allergen.

We report two cases in confectioners who presented with chronic hand dermatitis.
